Every power rankings take
301–325 of 382
that's where I'm putting the Vikings... And I have the Packers too, and I have the Lions one... And I like the Bears as well, to finish fourth.
I got the bears fourth... I got the vikings finishing third... I'm gonna put the Packers in it too... I just don't see any reason not to believe that the Lions are gonna take this.
Number 10... I'm putting the Broncos number 10... Number nine. I'm putting the Los Angeles chargers here... Number eight, I'm putting their co tenants, the Los Angeles Rams... Number seven on the list are the Washington Commanders... Number six, I am putting the Green Bay Packers... a power rankings with the Lions fifth... Fourth, the Buffalo Bills... Well, the Ravens are three... Chiefs two... They put Dallas at one rich? ... They're defending champs.
Chiefs winning the division. I have Harbaugh on the charges finishing second... And and Denver, I I I, you know, I'm excited.
I don't mean any disrespect to Raider nation, but I got you guys coming in fourth... I got the chargers third, the broncos second... I'm sticking with the Chiefs.
The Chargers, I I have them third... Really excited for Omari and Hampton, but they're not quite as good as Denver, who is not quite as good as Kansas City.
it's tough to put the Cardinals fourth... Seattle won 10 games last year, but I think they're third... I think the Rams are second... I think the Niners probably go eleven and six and win this division.
And I'll put the Arizona Cardinals in that spot... But I do have them third. I've got the niner second, and I think the Rams may wind up by the end of the day, the class of the entire conference.
Just in my gut right now, Rams, Niners, Cardinals, Seahawks.
Yeah, definitely, yeah, definitely the best team in the NFL right now... I mean easily the top two or three.
At the bottom, I think it's an obvious Saints being fourth... I think Carolina is an is an up and coming team, but I still think they're third. I still think they're behind Atlanta and Tampa... I'm gonna go with Atlanta first, Tampa.
we got the Saints. They're finishing last... I got the Panthers coming in third... they're not good enough to supplant the Falcons who I have in second... Bucks winning that division.
And then my NFC South prediction, not gonna just belabor it. It's the same.
So you and I are lockstep teaching. Okay? We are. ... I do believe the Ravens win it ... and I do believe the Cleveland Browns do finish last ... I just still think the Steelers are are a better balanced team right now.
You add that as window dressing to your Ravens, Bengals, Steelers, Browns finish. Yes, sir.
So, yeah, Ravens, Steelers, Bengals, Browns bringing up the rear there. TJ Jefferson's AFC North predictions for 2025
The East remains the same. Eagles, Commanders, Giants, Cowboys.
NFC North Major change, Green Bay... The Lions, I'm dropping them to second... So I am taking the Bears from second to third, the Lions from first to second.
I am going to move the Jags into the second spot... I'm gonna put them at second, Titans, third, Colts, fourth
I'll move the Niners from fourth to third... I think Seattle is gonna win the division... Commanders, Lions and Rams are the playoff teams
AFC East Bills are going to win it. Patriots are my most improved team... Dolphins coming out now... The Jets, I just structurally I have no idea their fourth
we go to the AFC North. It's going to stay the same. Bengals... Ravens are the best operation... Steelers have not been impressive... Cleveland ... probably finished fourth
NFL top 10 power rankings. These are my top 10 teams right now... The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are number 10. Number nine... The Pittsburgh Steelers... Number eight, the Los Angeles Chargers... Number seven, the Kansas City Chiefs... Number six, we'll go with Philadelphia Eagles... Buffalo Bills. Five... Number four... Washington Commanders... Number three, please. Baltimore Ravens... Rams... So I think they are number two... The Cleveland Browns.
And these are my top five projected teams for twenty twenty five. Ravens, Lions, Bills, Chiefs and Commanders.
I am now unveiling my just a bit too early power rankings... Number 10 on the list... Detroit lions... Buccaneers at nine... Chargers... eight... Denver Broncos are seven... Bills at six... Rams... five... Commanders are four... Chiefs are up two spots. They're three... Up one spot to two are the Baltimore Ravens, and then number one is... the Philadelphia Eagles.
